Brae Burn Golf Club
About
Brae Burn Golf Club in Plymouth has a traditional layout with a landscape that ranges from gently rolling to wildly undulating. On most holes, elevated tees play to elevated greens. The large, undulating greens usually slope back to front. Golfers will encounter water on 15 holes and the fairways are lined with mature trees. The bunkering is sparse but strategically placed and there are also rough-enhanced moguls protecting the greens, a unique feature at Brae Burn. One tip if it is your first time on the golf course is to study the course diagram beforehand since there are many hidden ponds that come into play on the fairways and greensides. The course's most famous hole is the par-5 13th, nicknamed "The Monster" since it measures a devilish 666 yards. This tricky hole double doglegs to the left and then back towards the right.

Right price for the course
This was my first time out this year. The course played well but I think the grass could be groomed better. I was not impressed after I hit my ball in the short grass and couldn't find my ball. Over all the golf course was worth the golf now deal for $22
tee time at 12:07....was trying to beat out the thunderstorms that were to start around 4:30. What the course failed to mention was that they had a ton of high school kids out there for some kind of tournament. First 9 holes took 3 and a half hours!!! finished 13 holes by the time the thunderstorms hit. Had it been just showers would have kept playing. Course couldn't give us any kind of rain check due to use buying the "hot deal." FIRST bad experience at this course though...never had a problem like that before.
course was a bit wet as one would expect in the spring on the lower areas and the grass hasn't fully grown in. Greens were in decent shape and the course played well.
Good condition for spring
Enjoyed open and challenging layout from the black tee. Greens are large and Not flat. Had a good time.
January In michigan
Played at the end of January in Michigan. Can not knock the conditions.
Upgrades
Bunkers could use some restoration. Could use a New Clubhouse. Could use upgrade on Practice putting green. Parking lot could be resurfaced.
Good Experience
Everytime I play Brae Burn, there is something new I learn about my golf, either from the people I play with or just on my own. All have been good experiences and I recommend this course to anyone for a challenge. I challenge anyone to birdie the "Monster" par 5, the largest in Michigan. Have a good round!!!!
Long par5, the MONSTER
The MONSTER,13, of course, 666 yards and it is not just long but it's ugly and difficult. The golf course is in good condition and the greens are nice. Most holes are difficult, I like playing this course.
fun time
if this course isnt backed up it is fun to play a round here ,i golf here about 4 or 5 times a year most times its not too backed up, some holes are dificult
plenty of risk reward
A nice muni, with a lot of risk reward driveable par 4's go for it in 2 par 5's but also a 600 yard double dogleg par five with a pond in the fairway at the second dogleg. Ive gone out here and said I'm going to destroy this track but then the great equalizer the greens, ive putted 4 footers off the green. If your below the cup go for it if not lag it close the greens will make you drink good thing they have a well stocked bar in a nice little clubhouse. Stop in, say hi to Brett and his staff and enjoy a round of golf, you'll be glad you did
Great Place to Play
Well maintained challenging course. Staff is great and the pace of play on most days is excellent.
always fun
great place for a nice round of golf greens are challenging
Home of the Monster
Brae Burn has a nice layout with Very challenging greens. Brett does a great job running the course and Denise is great at the grill. Tom Thumb is the best ranger in Michigan.
Nice- old school course
Convenient to where I live, greens are well taken care of for sure, some surprises and overall a nice place to play. Carts might need an upgrade some day soon . :)
first time
Played this course with a buddy on the 4th of July. Called many courses looking for a tee time 3 weeks in advance, was the only course to let me schedule and said I could pick any time all day that I wanted to play. Staff was friendly, course was in good shape for the weather (hot and dry) which meant hard ground and fast greens. Some holes were more challenging than others, but the layout was nice. Good course for any ability. Was nice to get out and play and will definitely be back to play again.
Tough track
This course can play tough, it has some very long holes and even some of the shorter hole are very difficult. The course was in good condition when we played it and the greens always seem to play fast, I'm not a great putter but these greens can humble the best putter quick.
